Two teens rushed to hospital in critical condition after possible Lake Ontario drowning

Paramedics pulled one teenager from Lake Ontario, and attended to a second teen found washed up on the beach near a water filtration plant in the Toronto’s east end Sunday morning.

At about 8.50 a.m., paramedics found one teenager on the beach and a second in the water near the R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant near Victoria Park Avenue and Queen Street East, Toronto EMS said.

Both teens were without vital signs, but paramedics were able find a pulse in one of them at the scene, EMS said.

Paramedics rushed the pair to hospital in critical condition, but EMS could not comment on their current status Sunday morning.
